Hello.
First, I want to say thank you for the value of this forum. It has helped me out of many difficult situations and I am most appreciative.
Several questions about calibration and 17025.
1. During a customer audit, my client was asked if its calibration house was ISO 17025. Is 17025 required or is it recommended for calibration houses?
2. How are equipment tolerances determined? Are they determined by the calibration house, the manufacturer of the equipment or the company requesting the calibration? How is this typically specified in a calibration procedure?
3. My client takes a risk based approach to calibration by calibrating equipment annually. Their customer is saying that there are industry standards requiring more frequent calibrations. For example, pipettes should be calibrated quarterly. What institution sets standards for thermometers, WUTCs, centrifuges, pipettes? Are these requirements or guidelines? Can my client do a risk-base approach and only calibrate equipment once a year?
Once again, thank you for all your help. It is much appreciated.
